CVE-2017-16010
This can result in a cross-site scripting vulnerability because user input is assumed to be escaped, but is not.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.00%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
i18next is a language translation framework. When using the .init method, passing interpolation options without passing an escapeValue will default to undefined rather than the assumed true. This can result in a cross-site scripting vulnerability because user input is assumed to be escaped, but is not. This vulnerability affects i18next 2.0.0 and later.
